Red Dead Redemption, which was highlighted last week, is also officially available, along with plenty of deals and special events to keep you busy for another week.

If you haven’t experienced Quake II, now’s your chance! This classic title is hitting the Switch for the first time, bringing updated HD support and a rocking soundtrack to support the sci-fi setting. Meanwhile, Bomb Ruch Cyberfunk involves graffiti artists, lost heads and inklings of artifical intelligence. Two different games that both sound very intriguing.

If you’re a mobile gamer who enjoys Fire Emblem, you’re in for a treat. Players of Fire Emblem Heroes can experience Round 7 of the special Choose Your Legends event, which brings top-ranking heroes from across the Fire Emblem series. Along with new story maps, there’s plenty to enjoy on this free-to-play title.
